3.5 User memory concept
You can find additional information about memory management in SIMOTION in the
SIMOTION Runtime Basic Functions Function Manual.
CompactFlash card (CF card)
The CF card contains the following data:
● SIMOTION Kernel
● Technology packages (TP)
● User data (units, configuration data, parameter settings, task configuration)
● IP parameters (IP address, subnet mask, router address)
● DP parameters (PROFIBUS DP address, baud rate)
● Also, if required:
3.5.3
Operator actions and their impact on user memory
The operator actions and their effects on the user memory are described below.
These operator actions are marked with arrows in the following displays:
● Figure 3-2 SIMOTION D410 memory model (Page 41)
● Figure 3-3 Configuration data and system variables on volatile memory (Page 43)
SIMOTION SCOUT download
The following data are transferred by means of the menu command "Load project to target
system" or "Load CPU / drive unit to target device" from the engineering system to the "volatile
SIMOTION data" area:
● User data (units, configuration data, parameter settings, task configuration)
● Technology packages (TPs)
The IP and DP parameters are furthermore saved to the "non-volatile SIMOTION data" area.
The retain variables are set to their initial values, but this depends on the settings in SIMOTION
SCOUT. Volatile SIMOTION data are lost if you shut down the SIMOTION D410 module after
the download.
